At least six zero-pointers weren't wasted at all - they were your USA
multipliers. ("at least", because if you didn't work the appropriate
Canadians some of the zero-pointers may have also been your zone 3/4/5
mults)
That's also why some of them called you.
I'm not so sure I like the idea of allowing one point for own-country
QSOs in CQ WW. There aren't enough zero-pointers to seriously inhibit
one's opportunity to work interesting DX. I don't think the comparison
to WPX is a fair one.
